Euphorbia granulata
A few individuals of the species was noted following the rains of 2005 in side wadis of Karkur Talh, where localised rainfall runoff collected. None were seen in the main wadi. A single specimen was noted in the upper Wadi Handal among other vegetation. In 2006 it was abundant in upper Karkur Talh in the rain affected areas, some of which may have been remnant growth from the year before, but the majority fresh growth. The species was also nited in October 2006 in the upper reaches of Wadi handal, where it was clearly remnant growth.
